'C': a story for Couples coming and going

by Richard E. Schingoethe

"Many times I thought I couldn't live with you. "And many times I know I can't live without you." Among a myriad of books about love and relationships, you will not find another quite like 'C'. A story "for Couples coming and going," 'C' brings wit and wisdom, anecdotes and observations from a writer who has truly lived it ... in ways that frequently mirror our own. With a lively, unique and refreshing blend of narrative, musical lyrics and quotable quotes, 'C' takes us on a journey through the phases of Coupling, from "Finding your 'C'-Mate," to "Un-Coupling" and even "Post-Couple Coupling." While being a couple is, in many ways, rather simple (put two people together and - ka-boom - you have a couple), a multitude of factors can enhance, aggravate or even detour the relationship. 'C' draws on the author's life 'n times with "special colleagues" to give us a highly perceptive view of what happens at various stages in relationships, while offering actionable ideas that help make Coupling more fun. Sometimes funny, heartwarming or even heartbreaking, 'C' makes no pretenses about being more than its title implies. Whether you're a 20-something, a mid-lifer or older ... currently Coupling, Un-Coupling or at stages in-between ... 'C' can help smooth out "speed bumps" on the highway to forever, and make your Couple-times more meaningful, more enjoyable. Perhaps because, in many ways, 'C' is every reader's story, too.
